The redneck with the Tide box and toilet paper rolls on a stick. Another one of the "side walk alumni" who never sets foot on campus except for games. Oh, wait, you probably can't afford the the price of a ticket so you only watch on TV.

How ironic - an Alabama fan uses a picture of Einstein as his Avatar image. Now that's rich.

But you must have been a reeeal bad boy because Bernie fans don't usually don't vote to hide other Bernie fans.

I went looking back at the fivethirtyeight site to primaries that were supposed to be blowouts for Hillary. Just looking through some of the hotly contested and close primaries you see that right to the end Bernie is almost always ( a few exceptions) way behind by many many points. I don't anticipate this primary to be any different. Enough for an upset? Not sure about that (hopeful but understand he does not need to win, just get close in results). I did some calls this weekend and I did not run into one NYer who was a Hillary supporter. Plenty of Bernie supporters though.

or he falls further behind in the pledged delegate count he needs to draw even with Hillary before the convention and he will then have to win by even greater margins in all of the remaining contests. Ain't math and reality fun?

And oh.... we haven't even talked about the super delegates because that usually gets Sanders fans all mad and everything. (So sad.)
